For Pray the Word on this Saturday of Holy Week,

when you think about this time in between Jesus' death and spoiler alert, his resurrection

that's coming. Matthew Chapter 27 verses 57 through 66.

When it was evening, there came a rich man from Eremathia named Joseph,

who was also a disciple of Jesus. He went to Pilot and asked

for the body of Jesus. And Pilot ordered it to be given to him, and Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud and laid it in his own tomb, which he had cut in the rock.

And he rolled a great stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away.

Mary Magdalen and the other Mary were there sitting

opposite the tomb. The next day that it is after the day of preparation the chief

priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate and said,

Sir, we remember how that imposter said while he was still alive,

after three days, I will rise.

Therefore, order the tomb to be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples go and steal

him away and tell the people he's risen from the dead.

The last fraud will be worse than the first.

Pilot said to them, you have a guard or soldiers,

go, make it as secure as you can.

So they went and made the tomb secure

by sealing the stone and setting a guard.

Just a side note, I think Matthew 2765 is one of the more humorous verses in all of

scripture like Pilots saying, go the tomb is secure as you can.
